AFL great Matthew Richardson says reviving Tasmania’s VFL team would be a “step in the right direction”.

A report in the Herald Sun says VFL clubs have been told a Tasmanian team will likely join the competition in 2021.

Richardson, a proud Tasmanian, welcomed the news on 3AW.

“It’s a step in the right direction if rumour is fact.”

Tom Elliott and Richo then discussed possible nicknames for the team!
